It's fine what they're doing. Just two things:

1. It doesn't solve my problem of finding an Open Source tool. I can just ignore it.

2. I won't read the code because they could claim I copied it if I wrote a similar tool. A browser extension to keep me from viewing Source-Available code would be nice.

Agreed. I would just know why they do what they do; it seems everyone using the Elastic license is because of what aws did with elastic search. If that is the case, there are other options friendlier for open source (vs source available) while not allowing aws (like) to do what they do. It’s not totally in line with freedom but at least makes it usable.

does this license violate 4 freedoms or not?
